Finding You

A moment, those 5 days reduced to one

open-eyed communication of "I am here."

And how lucky that was even as much as

a 4-leaf clover in a field of spring growth

before Gaea and Hestia cook supper

and we pray for fecundity.

At the same Table.  We.

Lucky moment even as much as finding forevermore

in a marriage ceremony and see-ya-later

in a breakfast roll, in a forget-me-not.

O Love, do you think? 

Originally written for NaPoWriMo on 5/2/2012, I am re-posting this poem for "Poets United: Poetry Pantry #102" where my blog(s) have just joined the roll call.  This poem leaves a lot out, but I think "I am here" and want to know, really.
